In the title acrylonitrile derivative, C17H14N2OS, the central aminoacrylaldehyde O=C—C=C—NH unit, wherein an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif, is approximately planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0234 (2) Å for the five non-H atoms. This plane makes dihedral angles of 41.04 (9) and 84.86 (10)° with the two phenyl rings. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 54.82 (10)°. An intramolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bond is also present. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯π and π–π interactions, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.8526 (14) Å, are observed.

The title compound was prepared according to the reported method (Rudorf et al., 1977). Single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray
were recrystallized from ethanol by the slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature after several days.Amino H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically [N—H = 0.91 (3) Å]. The remaining H atoms were placed in calculated positions with d(C—H) = 0.93 for aromatic and 0.96 Å for CH3 atoms. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.Acrylonitrile derivatives play many important roles in chemistry such as in membrane technology (Saufi & Ismail, 2002), synthesis and medicinal chemistry (Sączewski et al., 2004; Sommen et al., 2002, 2003). 2,3-Disubstituted acrylonitriles represent an interesting class of biologically active compounds, many of them possess cytotoxicity (Sączewski et al., 2004). These interesting acrylonitrile derivatives promted us to synthesize the title acrylonitrile derivative (I) in order to study for its biological activity. Herein the
of (I) was reported.The molecule of the title acrylonitrile derivative, C17H14N2OS, exists in an E configuration with respect to the olifinic C8═C9 double bond [1.412 (2) Å] and with torsion angles C10–C8–C9–N1 = 162.52 (16)° and C7–C8–C9–S1 = 173.43 (12)° (Fig. 1). The molecule is twisted with the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings being 54.82 (10)°. Atoms of the middle fragment of the central aminoacrylaldehyde unit (C7–C9/O1/N1) lie roughly on the same plane with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0234 (2) Å for the five non-H atoms (C7–C9/O1/N1). An intramolecular N1—H1N1···O1 hydrogen bond (Table 1) generates an S(6) ring motif (Fig. 1) (Bernstein et al., 1995), which helps to stabilize the planarity of this plane. The mean plane through the C7/C8/C9/O1/N1 atoms makes dihedral angles of 41.04 (9) and 84.86 (10)° with the benzoyl and aminophenyl rings, respectively. The orientation of the methylthio group with respect to the olefinic moiety is indicated by the torsion angle C11–S1–C9–C8 = -42.56 (16)°. The dihedral angle between the two mean planes of N2/C10/C8/C9 and C8/C9/S1/C11 is 47.08 (15)°. An intramolecular weak C—H···N interaction generates an S(7) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The bond distances of (I) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987).
The crystal packing of (I) is stabilized by weak C—H···π interactions (Table 1). A π–π interaction (Fig. 2) between the two aminophenyl rings with the distance of Cg2···Cg2ii = 3.8526 (14) Å [symmetry code (ii) = 1-x, 1-y, -z] was presented; Cg2 is the centroid of the C12–C17 ring.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Acrylonitrile derivatives play many important roles in chemistry such as in membrane technology (Saufi & Ismail, 2002), synthesis and medicinal chemistry (Sączewski et al., 2004; Sommen et al., 2002, 2003). 2,3-Disubstituted acrylonitriles represent an interesting class of biologically active compounds, many of them possess cytotoxicity (Sączewski et al., 2004). These interesting acrylonitrile derivatives promted us to synthesize the title acrylonitrile derivative (I) in order to study for its biological activity. Herein the crystal structure of (I) was reported.
The molecule of the title acrylonitrile derivative, C17H14N2OS, exists in an E configuration with respect to the olifinic C8═C9 double bond [1.412 (2) Å] and with torsion angles C10–C8–C9–N1 = 162.52 (16)° and C7–C8–C9–S1 = 173.43 (12)° (Fig. 1). The molecule is twisted with the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings being 54.82 (10)°. Atoms of the middle fragment of the central aminoacrylaldehyde unit (C7–C9/O1/N1) lie roughly on the same plane with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0234 (2) Å for the five non-H atoms (C7–C9/O1/N1). An intramolecular N1—H1N1···O1 hydrogen bond (Table 1) generates an S(6) ring motif (Fig. 1) (Bernstein et al., 1995), which helps to stabilize the planarity of this plane. The mean plane through the C7/C8/C9/O1/N1 atoms makes dihedral angles of 41.04 (9) and 84.86 (10)° with the benzoyl and aminophenyl rings, respectively. The orientation of the methylthio group with respect to the olefinic moiety is indicated by the torsion angle C11–S1–C9–C8 = -42.56 (16)°. The dihedral angle between the two mean planes of N2/C10/C8/C9 and C8/C9/S1/C11 is 47.08 (15)°. An intramolecular weak C—H···N interaction generates an S(7) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The bond distances of (I) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987).
The crystal packing of (I) is stabilized by weak C—H···π interactions (Table 1). A π–π interaction (Fig. 2) between the two aminophenyl rings with the distance of Cg2···Cg2ii = 3.8526 (14) Å [symmetry code (ii) = 1-x, 1-y, -z] was presented; Cg2 is the centroid of the C12–C17 ring.
